Abstract

A rotating cleaner (1) comprising a housing (2) which has a cavity (10) and an inlet (9) which is connectable to a fluid supply line, a shaft (5) extending in sections into the cavity (10), a sprayer body (3) which is non-rotatably connected with the shaft (5) and has an outlet (8), and further comprising a sliding bearing for rotatably supporting the shaft (5) in the housing (2), said sliding bearing having a rotating bearing surface (23), an idle bearing surface (22) and a bearing gap. To improve the cleanability and the rotational characteristics of the rotating part, it is proposed that the rotating bearing surface (23) and the idle bearing surface (22) are each formed as a contiguous surface for supporting the shaft (5) in the radial and axial direction.
